Shit is so fucking expensive nowadays. Think about it. Like the 80s, you listen to like any old country music song and it just sounds like unbelievable opulent well. Like, oh, you worked a 40 hour a week? You managed to survive only working 40 hours a week. You must have been so rich.

Oh, you skip work so that you could just go cruising backroads in a vehicle burning gasoline? Whoa. Are you a millionaire? A millionaire used to be a big deal back then. This country is fucked. Speaking of that, did you see Pollyab's quarter joke? Nobody's got a quarter?

No. He's like, anybody got a quarter? And then nobody says anything, all right, everybody's broke. Something like that. Anyways. Mashup 69, too. Is mashup 69? Anyways.

Yes, indeed. Did you just put on nice? Yeah, because it's 69. You always have to say nice. It's like an internet rule, Sean. Have you ever seen the internet before? Have you ever been there? It's a place.

Wow. This is interesting. So for all the people that tune in via Facebook, and you're probably like, what the heck's going on? It just popped up saying we're having issues streaming to Facebook. This may be an issue on Facebook's end, blah, blah, blah. I've gotten a bunch of these lately. So Facebook is.

is a no-go tonight. So that's too bad. We normally get some comments coming in from a bunch of different people on Facebook. And anyways, not that that's the NRB all, but I know lots of people like to tune in on Facebook. I apologize. You're going to have to catch it at its regular aired time on the podcast, I guess, because it is smash up 69. Yeah, good, sir. How's Tew's doing this week? Well, Tew's a little tired, but he just drank a Red Bull, so he might get a little... He drank a coffee and then he drank a red bull oh now it just popped up on mine too uh we're having troubles blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah is it possible that you've been kicked off facebook have you been canceled is this bill c-18 i i actually don't know you know it's it's starting to happen

more and more on my on my page and i'm like that didn't use to happen um it could be just a little minor glitch but i mean you know um i don't know what are you going to do hey you know you know Funny note, because Stuart Light showed it to him, he just texted me. But my name got mentioned on Dr. Drew this week, this past week. Dr. Drew. Yeah, he was interviewing Viva Frey. Vib Fri is like, I was just on Sean Newman's podcast. Anyways, small world.

Nice. Yeah. And then you didn't once call him French Fry. Oh, man, folks. You know, anyways. Mashup 69, bought to you by Renew, Production, Optimizing. Sean gets the helm of the ad read this week. Yeah, it sounds like you're trying to seduce them.

I am. Am I seducing you in your ears while you drive to work this morning? I like to think so. Based at RIMBY, Alberta, we service a Western Canadian oil and gas industry with our blend of microbes. These microbes replace conventional chemicals with a cost-effective solution, environmentally safe product that is adaptable for downhole environment. Essentially, the microbes' food sources are customers' production issue, whether it's wax, scale, asphalt teens, or H2S, we can control them all and provide corrosion protection. Pretty much we're awesome.

In the past microbes have been given a bad rap. Through human error, they've been responsible for souring of some of the sweet zones and wells. We've isolated the beneficial strains while eliminating the strains that cause issues. This gives us customizable cocktails, kind of like going to twos on a Friday night with Viva Fry, I guess. of strains that are very effective in controlling production issues.

Check us out at Renew with a 2-U-U-U-D-N-U-D-N-N-U-D-N-F-N-U-N-E-U-D-N-F-E-U-D-N-F. I am so sorry you people just had to listen to that. I won't let them do any more ad-reeds. You know what I'm going to do? You know what I'm going to do from now on when you do your ad-reets? I'm going to put my feet up because I feel like, you know, it's like at the end of the day, if you want to read them all, too, you read them all, okay?

I'm quite happy with that. I'm kind of happy with your uh-ums and everything else. And I'm looking forward. I am looking forward to going head to head with this guy in September. When we go back to back, we're going to be putting out polls and who did it better. And I tell you what, I might even clip it myself so we can go,

here's the two ad reads, who did it better? I'm excited about this. What is going to be our first bet? Are you fucking kidding me? What is going to be our first? You stutter more than the economy. What is going to be our first bet in September?

With all your clever lines, your ad reads are subpar. Anyways. What do you got? I don't know. I think we should throw it out to the audience. I mean, we throw it out to the live chat, but you seem to have screwed that up too, Sean. No, no, no, no, though. Let's be honest. That's meta. And one might argue that could possibly be our liberal government. They seem to screw up everything. And that's just blatant censorship. That's what that is. That has nothing to do with Sean. has nothing to do with Sean.

Don't put this on Sean. It's like they don't even, they don't even care about Malaysian politics. You know I'm still trending in Malaysian politics podcasts? Sure. Put it out to Malaysia.

See what they think of your ad brings. What's going to be your first bet? What do you want? Oh, I don't know. I feel like you should have to do something degrading like cheer oilers. Cheer the Oilers? Yeah.

Yeah, something degrading like that. Uh-huh. Tuse has, you ask my, you know, it's like, Hey, hon, where do you want to go for supper night? I don't know. Like, where do you want to go for supper tonight? I don't know. You decide.

Tews, what do you want to do for a challenge? I don't know. You know, cheer for the Oilers. You just sprung it on me. See, here's the thing is it's, okay, all right, uh, let's see here. You know what? You know what? I think, like, if you lose,

I would, I could probably do, who's the, who's the podcast show from Emmington? Why can I think of his name? Nick. No, no, no, no, no, no. Other side. Used to be the guy for the Oilers, actually. He interviews Daniel Smith all the time. Why can't I think of his blip in name?

This is where we need the chat. Okay, anyway, what about it? Quick Dick's been on him. You're talking Jesperson? Jesperson. I tell you what, like, you lose? I'm like, oh, we could get. you all dressed up in like jesperson gear or we could get you like and you know like we we could

order we could order rachel gilmore gear and you have to like wear it for an episode like all of a sudden i start ticking i just we we already agreed we were not going to to to mention that foul name uh yeah i i'm not i'm not interested in buying ryan jesperson any sort of credibility either that's fair that's fair okay well i'm i'm just saying keep Keep going. Keep going. It's interesting. Okay, folks. We need some guest suggestions or some challenge suggestions for whoever loses in September. We have to agree on it here pretty darn quick. We got one more episode in August and then we head to September where we'll have a little ad readoff. Yeah, and the best Sean can hope for is to tie because it'll be one one at that point.

I play for keeps. I play for keeps. I play for keeps. Yeah, it's going to be like quittupil or not. Nothing to. Play for keeps. Oh, yeah, you read one ad. And then supposedly the data shows. I wonder how much you paid him to say that. That's what I wonder. I'm just saying, shall we get into it?

Should we get into 69? Or are we just going on? How much do you want to keep complaining about the fact that you're the second best ad read on this show? You know, like he does one ad read, folks. Pays a guy a couple bucks. Knocks it out of the part. Fudges the numbers. And pretty soon he's, he's,

you know, the Babe Ruth of ad reading. Like, come on, give me a break here. Here we go. Justin Trudeau's day off. You know who needs to take a day off? This guy on this side. Like, I feel like I could use a day off. Anyways, prime minute, I'm kind of like,

anyways. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to deliver a two mission for his cabinet at a three-day retreat in Charlottetown this week in a bid to restore Canadian sense of economic security and their confidence in his government. It is a... Keep going. You zoom in on that.

Zoom in on that, would you? Yep. It is a very different cabinet from the one last sat in the House of Commons following a major shuffle in July. Seven of the 38 ministers were replaced entirely and 19 were given new files. And it goes on to say

one of the things expected to be discussed on the treat could include negotiating a national housing accord. Such a pact would bring all levels of government to the table, along with both not-for-profit and for-profit housing agencies to build the estimated 5.8 million new homes, Canada needs to restore affordability to the housing market by 2030. They've enabled the space for Pollyav narrative,

and I think it has taken hold in a few pockets, and I think they need to punch back, said Susan Smith, a liberal strategist and co-founder of Bluski Strategy Group. She said the government has to address the fact that dynamic around Canada's economic situation has changed since the liberal government first came to office. The economic reality has shifted dramatically, you don't think. The Toronto Star also said liberal...

Which is funny, because this is exactly what everybody said was going to happen eight years ago, by the way. Toronto Star said, part of their article said, liberal source, who has also spoke on condition of a non-animity... An ad read? Said the mood in the caucus is worse than before Trudeau. cabinet shuffle, which they likened to putting lipstick on a pig. We don't need to outflank the NDP on the left anymore.

The source said we need to embrace the fact that we are liberals, not just the party of Justin Trudeau. A couple funny things about this picture we're zoomed in on. First of all, is that just not the most vapid, idiotic smile you've ever seen in your life? Secondly, when you look behind them, you can tell exactly which one is Christopher Freeland. it's true i'm like scanning it i'm like it's funny they didn't you like you know okay and i'm like and there she is yeah like there she is yep she's uh yeah she's she's something all right she stands out she does she does yeah so isn't it funny that the liberals who love doing liberal things and just really they're like remember it and knocked up where he's like oh he keeps

throwing the dice he's only got the one move like oh the liberals are tanking what do they do take time off and take a few days off and go on a taxpayer funded retreat right i mean it's it's all they know how to do is just run away from problems okay and do they really think that they're going to turn this around by getting the country further in debt by running up a tab at some bar and pei like this is just at what point are they going to realize that they're the antithesis of the solution. They are what you might call the problem. Maybe they're just sitting at the bar going, well, the house is on fire. We're out in a year and a bit and, uh, well, we can be married for tomorrow.

We die. You know, pretty much. You know, like, or they're morons and they think they still have a chance. That's possible two, twos. I don't know. I don't know. It's like, I, I, I kind of, I kind of want to just spend enough time with Justin Trudeau that I could understand the way that that motherfucker actually thinks. Because you're like, is he this dumb? Or is it just that he's surrounded himself with Pliant simpletons who just knowingly nod every time he says something,

that he's just in this ivory tower? Or is it genuine malice? What has convinced him to make such a successive, like a strong succession of disastrous ideas? like year after year, day after day that he's actually working. Honestly, the best thing he's done for this country has been taking so many fucking vacations. I get the fact that we're mad about them and that they cost us a lot of money. His best days when he's actually not in office.

It's better than the alternative. The best days of your job is when you're not doing your job. You know, that's saying something. Okay. Some men want to see the world. burn man if that ain't a line from one of one of the great movies out there with a great set of actors in that one anyways doesn't matter canary islands regional president uh fernando calvillo said sunday that police have confirmed that a wildfire raging on the spanish tourist island of

tennarifi was started delivery is it tennarith i've been there yep have you really yes is it beautiful it's gorgeous so there's seven uh yeah i know yeah yeah yeah I was on the eastern four of them. I didn't go to Las Pomas and whatever the other three were. I can't remember. But I quite liked Fuerda Ventura and Lanzarote. And Grand Canaria was okay, but I didn't see a whole lot of it. And Tenerife was awesome.

And it's got a really big mountain. And my biggest disappointment was on the way to the airport. I saw where they had those, that like hovercraft. hooked up to a C-Doo. This is a while ago, so this is when this was still new. And I'm looking at it. Oh, I wish I had another hour, because this would be awesome. Well, it's one of the places like, know exactly where it is, never been, would love to go.

And everybody in Finland when I was playing hockey there used to do, like, I'm sure there's more than one of two stops, but the two stops I heard the most was going down to Turkey, which was right beside them or going to the Canary Islands and at that time I'd never heard of the Canary Islands then you start looking into it and the flights from Finland there were cheap at that time and I was like oh man if I stay like this with that would be cool

anyways I never got there And there's an insane like one of the best water parks in the world is in Tenerife There's one where you go like straight down forever And then it cuts out And then you go through a shark tank There's this tube going through a shark tank And so you're flying past him at 100 miles an hour

You're like oh hammerhead You know, it's funny. Speaking of sharks, the kids started watching a documentary on sharks, and I think it's a sand shark. It was talking about seven uteruses and only the strongest survive. So in the uterus, sharks are eating sharks. And out comes seven babies and they're like mean and vicious because they've been like that. That sounds like a perfect corollary to the liberal government.

Anyways, going back to the headline. Oh, my goodness. Anyways. What a bunch of your uterus is. The fire described as the worst tenorif in decades in threatening 11 towns areas, flanking a steep and craggy mountain access for fire. Fire is extremely difficult.

I go back to it. Police have confirmed the raging wildfire in Spanish tourist island was started deliberate. You know, and so it's one of the worst fires they've had, and it's deliberate. Then you go up to Yellowknife. and Yellowknife RCMP say they've charged four female use with arson for trying to light a fire in a small green space on Burwash Drive and Yellowknife Tuesday night. And the news released Wednesday morning, police said that this is one of two instances of arson.

They are investigating in Yellowknife. And then police are still searching for two men who started a fire near Long Lake on the northwest side of the city Tuesday night. And so, you know, both incidents came as Yellowknife. It's facing major wildfires threatening its west side. and shortly after a territory declared on a state of emergency. Anyways, so you got all these arsons going on all over the place. If I want here, I can pull up Daniel Smith getting questioned if I can find it. You just had it up during the Patreon.

Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Yeah, here we go. Here we go. Okay, a little faster. You got to turn the sound on. She's talking right now. We have to make sure climate change and the unprecedented wildfires we've been seeing this summer are at all related. All I know is in my province.

We have 650 fires and 500 of them were human caused. So we have to make sure that when people know that when it's dry out there and we get into forest fire season, that they're being a lot more careful because any time you end up with an ignition that happens, it can have devastating consequences. And so that's what I would hope that we can educate the public on that front as well. There you go. 650 fires, 500 of them. uh well man made uh people made people and it's not our son it's our people people people kind

it's not arson it's yeah so anyway um this is what happens when you've got year after year of let me think about this for a second the news the news people the supposed news people they just get paid no matter what whether they're good or not. And so it dilutes the talent pool. And then on top of it, they've had softballs thrown at the liberals for years. And every time they've thrown anything remotely controversial at any conservative politician, they just tuck their tail between their legs, roll over and show their belly. And now you've got Dan Smith who spent years in talk radio and she knows how to talk and she

can think on her feet. And she doesn't just take this lying down. And they're getting mopped up by Dan. Danielle and Pollyev for once. Instead of Andrew Shear and Aaron O'Toole just being lame bitches, you've got Pollyev just saying, oh, you know what, I can actually have a conversation about this. And it's nice to finally see.

You'd mentioned wanting to talk about the polling Canada. So it says to what extent do you believe climate change holds a responsibility for the surge in wildfires this year? High extent, 64%, low extent, 21, moderately 13%. You know what's missing here? What's missing? Not. Zero.

No extent. See, this is the constant forcing of, like, if you just, if you're taking this survey, you say, well, what if I think that they're caused by a bunch of fucking arsonists? Well, there's, there's no answer there for you. You have to say it's at least partially climate change. It's just, it's this foregone conclusion, right? the polls in Canada are garbage year after year

on and on Russia aggressively landed on the moon Russia's lunar 25 spacecraft smashed into the moon after it spun into an uncontrolled orbit the country's Rosco cosmos Spaces

Roscosmos Oh god, yeah Roscomos Roscosmos The pilot's space Ian is naive. Ross Comos. Cosmos.

You see how there's the word cosmos in there? You know, Cosmonaut? You know how Elon and Zuckerberg are talking about having a wrestling match? I'm thinking like, should we just have a charity twos versus Sean match? Like I just, you know, I just kind of, like, could we go at it? Like greased up wrestling or like fake sumo suits or?

Well, I think, I think, you know, fake sumo suits would be fun. Yeah, okay. Or giant boxing gloves. That'd be fun. Oh, yeah, we could just rage cage. Anyways, the pilotless spacecraft was aiming to be the first ever to land on the south pole of the moon. An area where scientists believed there could be important reserves of frozen water and precious elements. It has been expected to land on Monday.

However, they lost contact with the Luna 25 on Saturday after the spacecraft ran into difficulties and it reported in a normal situation, which was running into the moon. Yes. Yeah. So anyway, the Russians are now invading the moon. I think Canada is probably going to send them a few billion dollars.

George says we could fight on the ice. I guess obviously... You're a defenseman. You can't even skate. Getting chirped by twosobor. hockey you know folks oh and it landed oh can we just can we just turn this thing off and just go for you know just like Monday night's a bus 69 screw it and we're gonna go play some shenny till one of us can't get off the ice I'm glad I'm glad to see comments are working on Facebook

we'd lost you there for a little bit obviously they found a way to get a patch sir anyways yes they the crash landed and Canada's sending money no they're not The NDP are not a serious party. Okay, here we go. NDP leaders, Jagme Singh, is under fire on social media after government asset review showed that his wife owns a rental property in Burnaby, British Columbia, that is earning income.

He had a tweet... He's had a budget tweets, but one of particular. This comes as Singh blasted Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and conservative leader Pierre Pollyev for favoring rich investors in the housing market. Quoted, none of this is an accident. Conservatives and liberals have let rich investors, investors use housing as a get rich, get rich quick scheme.

Now their greed is so out of control that 200 square foot apartment is going for 2,000 months, tweeted Singh. At least he knows what he's talking about for once. According to disclosures dated June 23, 23, 23, under the conflict of interest code for members of the House of Commons, Singh's spos has sole ownership of a rental property located in Bernadby, British Columbia, with Singh as the guarantor for Spos's mortgage with RBC. additionally has supposed a sole source of income over the last 12 months over the next 12 months is listed as rental income. As reported by True North, Lindsay Shepard, a total of 41% of Trudeau's recently appointed cabinet were landlords or real estate investors up from 31% during the last cabinet. Anyways, yes.

Hey, finally something's going up in Canada. This is, it's just the classic do as I say, not as I do. Rules for me, rules for thee, but not for me. You see this all the time with socialists because whenever Mark Ruffalo says we need to redistribute the world's wealth, he never does any of that. He never gives way a bunch of his money. Taylor Swift gave every trucker on her tour $100,000.

And you never see, she just did it. And I did not think that we were going to be talking about the wonders of Taylor Swift. on this show anytime soon. But you don't see stuff like that. You see Keanu do it. You see Taylor Swift do it. And I don't know, maybe they should get together.

I just can't figure out how a guy got to the top of, whether the NDP is serious or not. Right now, they are winning seats in our government. And he comes out hammering them. And it gets caught. Well, not hammering. Trying to hammer them. Trying to hammer.

Okay. Yeah. On this exact thing. hammering them with like a little plastic guy. Right. You're like, can you be that stupid? Obviously you can. Yes, you can if you're the NDP.

That's kind of their bread and butter. I hope they don't shit on. Shit on who? Shithawks. Big dirty shithugs. Actual headline. Okay. Government EV subsidies surpass output of Canada's auto industry.

now we are giving away more money to make electric vehicles than the entire rest of the auto industry in Canada combined correct where do you want to go from there i'm going to play the i want to play the shit hawks quote a thing again there's too many this week where i'm like where do you even play it do you just you just replay it like put it on repeat it's like i don't know twos how about i read this federal suburbia subsidies for electric vehicle manufacturers now total 32 point or 32 billion which is more than twice the annual output of the entire Canadian automobile sector. Do I need to read any more of the article than that? Can I move on to Western Standard? Do you want more? Move on to the Western Standard. Western Standard. There's trouble brewing and Lotus land for EV drivers. That's because wayward electric car owners will now be on the hook for a proposed

15% hike to charge them at BC Hydro's public charging stations or risk being stranded. The Crown Own Utility has applied to the BC Utilities Commission to raise rates effective September 1. Depending on the type of charger used, rates would rise as high as 60 cents per minute plus GST and 44 cents per kilowatt hour. Extended stay charges would add an additional 40 cents per minute. That compares to 12.9.19 per minute for a 25,000. station and 27.43 cents for 100 kilowatt station at present. Users are built on a per second basis. They can control from their phones using a dedicated app.

Finally, National Post. Canada's Minister of Environmental Magic. Oh, man, this was a great article. Read the headline. Well, I don't have the head. You got the headline? Stephen Gilbault's Net Zero plan is laughably impossible. We're finally getting honest cover.

In the National Post. Yeah. Anyways, here's the opening line. Canada's Minister of Environmental Magic. Stephen Goeval is at it again. His next trick, more daring than scaling even the tallest skyscraper, is to eliminate fossil fuels from Canada's electrical grid by 2035. And then I went right to the bottom and said,

no matter the option chosen by Canada would theoretically be on the hook for $300 billion or more by 2035 in order to hit the current goals and timelines laid out. timelines laid out. And then it broke down like 12 different things at how many hydro dams or how many nuclear power plants. And it's just all insane because essentially none of it is feasible or realistic. Well, Daniel Smith had tweeted that for Alberta to do it, they would have to cover half of Calgary in solar panels. That's the amount of solar panels they would need is to cover half of Calgary. And as somebody who used to live in Calgary, I think that's a wonderful idea.

Man, I just, I don't know what to say anymore. I don't know what to say. I like the fact that exactly. We're finally getting some honest coverage. I think the media is starting to see that the tides are turning and that they don't want to be on the ship when it sinks. They're like rats, except that's an insult to rats. You know, it's funny.

As you say that, it's like they're starting to change their tune. on some things. But did you see all the new like COVID variant, dangerous variant and Canadian variant, dangerous? Everything's possibly, possibly mass coming back. And you're like,

so journalism is like, yeah, they're stepping up on one thing, but they're missing like, okay, so the fear porn is coming all the way back again. We're walking into flu season, folks.

If I may, if I may, real quick. For those of you who don't know, there is a new COVID variant coming out. and it's super scary. I don't give a shit. Yeah, that's right.

That's right. Okay. Oh, and we got, Jamie Ingram says, and Chevrolet just launched the Silver Auto, all electric truck. That will fail miserably in Canada. Yeah, I just go back to,

was it last week where the guy bought one in Winnipeg? Or is that two weeks ago? Two weeks ago, I think. It was somewhere in Ontario, and he was trying to get down to Detroit. Manitoba. He was Manitoba, was trying to go to Wisconsin Dells in Chicago and ended up getting it.

I don't know. Can we call them that? What's their word? Isn't it a slur? What's their slur? Manitoban? Isn't that offensive? I don't know.

Manitoba is that offensive? I don't think so. I don't think so. Anyways. Just sounds like a mean thing to call somebody. Living in Canada is so fucking expensive that people can't afford to feed their fucking dogs. Huh, you're not kidding. Okay.

The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew, society is sounding the alarm saying the ever increasing cost of owning a pet in the province is prompting many albertans to surrender their animals the a r a r c s executive director diana thompson saying they're getting a lot of calls from people who aren't able to afford the veterinary care for their pets and it's led to the shelter becoming filled to the brim so they're taking care of 800 um and then the other part of the part of this is the vet the vets the shortage of vets. So it said a recent report from an Alberta

Veterinary and Medicine Association found that Alberta needs to add 3,900 new vets by 2030 in order to keep up. 3,900. 3,900. And the University of Calgary is doubling its program from 50 to 100 grads a year. So do the, do the, do the, do the,

so I mean, that's, that's only going to take 39 years. Right. But the clap first class won't graduate until the spring of 2029. You're like, oh, man. So it's, yeah. But I mean, here's the thing. Like, this is, this is the first step, right? We're not at the stage where we're eating them yet.

We're still giving them up. Pretty soon it's going to be eating them. And then we're going to be, you know, going into the zoos and eating giraffe. Part of me wants this whole thing to collapse because I'm really curious what rhinoceros tastes like and what giraffe would taste like. I'll let somebody else kill the hippo because I don't really, they're not something to fuck around. with but there's this brief shining moment in socialism where you get to try these new and exotic foods and what would you on a weird side tangent what would you what would you go first for the giraffe whatever's the most endangered probably oh man hey briefs funny uh not funny brief side note i want

to bring this up uh this was this was a tweet we were going back to the fires uh i don't and post and I don't plan to but this this is just gross way to go air canna cap laying capitalizing on a dire issue and it shows the fight flight prices from yellow knife to Calgary at forty six hundred dollars one way and funny not funny like story that happened directly to me I had a I had a woman Tamara Leach's secretary or assistant assistant she needed to get back to Toronto obviously she wrote with me to the airport and then everything goes to pandemonium and we're sitting in the cab getting a ride to a buddy's house and

she's trying to book a flight at a camloops and I'm looking on one website and it had it as high as 1500 bucks that was Expedia and she so as hard as I'm gonna go on Air Canada here the Air Canada website probably hadn't adjusted fast enough it was half the price it was 700 bucks so Expedia was like instantly they jumped the price from Camloops to Toronto and Air Canada was still, you could still get that 700. Now, going back to what's on the screen, so all these people are getting displaced and evacuated.

All their flights are getting canceled. There's airports around, and they are cashing in, like $4,600. No. Okay. Here's, everyone is going to hate me. I'm ready for it. Okay? This, I used to agree with you.

And then even when I read basic economics with Thomas Seoul, he talks about this and how it's a good thing. And I'm like, what a dick. He's totally wrong about this. But here's the thing is when they're that expensive, the only people who are going to be taking them are the, because they're finite, right? There's only so many seats on these planes.

And there's more seats or there's more people than there are seats, right? So the only people who are going to be taking them are the ones who really need to get out and they don't have other options. They can't drive out or their limited mobility or for one of a myriad reasons. They have to get that. flight. They're the ones who are going to say, okay, well, you know what, it's worth it for me to pay this much. Just like when there's a convenience store near a flood and they're not selling cases of water for $4.00, they go up to $50. You're not going to buy every last fucking case in there for $20.

You're going to buy one case and you're going to leave the rest and someone else who needs it is going to buy it. As as greasy as it sounds, price skyrocketing in natural disasters is actually a good thing because it allows the people who need it the most

to get it even though it's at a high cost. But they probably can't afford it. No? They're going to find a way, right? I mean, like there's a lot of people out there willing to help out for stuff like that, right? But the thing about it is,

you're not going to have everybody who's like, ah, you know what, I don't really feel like driving or, oh, I hate having to pull over all the time with kids. We'll just fly. No, they're going to be like,

I don't think you've won me over on this. I just don't think you've won me over on this. The thing about it is is because things get really scarce during these things. So the only people who get it are the ones that really need it. And yeah, and then they take out a loan and have to pay it back and everything else. To me,

I just, I don't see how you're willing. while everybody or more people got out okay because of... They charged $4,600 a flight. Yeah. I just disagree with you. That's fine. Dude, it's economics.

It's economics. It's basic economics. You know, let's talk about something me and twos will probably agree on. Sophie needs privacy, you know? They certainly do two weeks after Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Trudeau formally announced their separation. Sophie shared photos of on her social media while vacationing with her family in

Tafino. So this is two weeks after she asked for privacy. Yes. And one of the photos she has seen bathing in a sustainably harvested seaweed in an outdoor tub at Moon Jelly Bathhouse. What a stupid fucking bit of advertising. Sustainably harvested seaweed. There is so much fucking seaweed out there.

How could it be anything but it's just absolutely ubiquitous? There's so much fucking seaweed in the world. How could you not have it? I think they should. I think they should price it really, really, really high. And then the people who really need it could get it. That's what I think. Okay, you're just being obtuse.

Okay, but this is the same Sophie Trudeau who asked privacy two weeks ago. And now she goes on a vacation where she's getting all these pictures taken so she can update her Tinder bio. Yeah, I agree with him. You want privacy, have privacy. It's pretty easy, honestly, I think. She's probably going to release a book. Oh, guaranteed. Yeah, guaranteed.

Asking for privacy. Okay. Complete Prince Harry move. Bud Light just keeps coming back and I love it. I couldn't resist. I know. This is a great article. Bush family wants to make Bud Light great again.

And that's a great headline. And they actually said that in the article. I couldn't believe it. Let me roll here. We're going to read some things. Two market analysts gave grim news to Bud Light with one predicting there would be no recovery for the boycott beleaguered brand in 2023. We assume no recovery in Bud Light this year, RBC Capital Markets, analyst James Jones wrote

in his note this week, according to Yahoo Finance. Recent sales data shows the retail store dollar sales of the brand drop 26.1% in the weekending July 15th and 26.8 in the weekend in July 22nd. It was one post, it was not an advertising. Mr. Durkerus told Financial Times in May, the influence. or was no part of an official marketing campaign, he said he added the social media-driven misinformation and confused them or part of the problem without elaborating.

In the call, he said, his company would triple its investment, triple its investment in Bud Light over the summer. At the same time, it would provide bonuses and incentives to frontline workers like drivers. But Bump Williams, President of Bump Williams consultant, told the Wall Street Journal that spending more to fix the problem won't do much.

Bud Light Shopper, who's left the brand, has zero interest in coming back, Mr. Williams said, so you can spend all the money you want, but until you fix the problem, apologize and admit your mistake, it's wasted money. And then if you scroll down further at the bottom, it said Anheuser-Busch-Air, Billy Bush,

revealed he would be willing to buy back Bud Light if Anheuser-Busch in Bev attempted to sell it in the midst of the months-long boycott. If they don't want, quote it, if they don't want the brand any longer, sell it back to the Bush family, Mr. Bush told Outkick, sell it to me. I'll be the first in line to buy the brand back from you

and we will make the brand great. again. There's so many great takeaways from this. Like, first of all, there's a guy named Bump Williams. Yeah. Okay. The make it great again, I thought was awesome. And then here's the other thing. Apparently Yahoo Finance still exists. I figured they were just with Ask Jeeves somewhere on an island.

Asked Jeeves. Is that still around? I don't know. Maybe. We could ask Jeeves if it is. It totally is. Oh no. That's going to give me ask.com. Ask Jeeves. Does everybody know what we're talking about?

I assume they do. Here, I'll bring it up for everybody so they can see what the heck I'm looking at. Ask Jeeves. I forgot all about that. Your connection is not private, private attackers,

maybe trying to steal your information from www. www. askjeeves.com. Oh, man. Ask Jeeves. We're going to go anyway. And it just goes to ask.com.

Fair enough. Ask Jeeves. Yeah, anyways, Bud Light just keeps getting better and better. It's in the tank. They're going to triple down on it. It's like,

what are you going to do? What are you do? You're just going to give it away free? Even then people are taking it. They're throwing vouchers in. They're losing shelf space. Oh, it just,

you just love to see such a bad beer. You love to see bad things happen to a bad beer. China is. Canada phobic racist. China is Canadaophobic racist. I don't know why I was. I don't know why that I got to get there. I don't know.

This is what happens during the ad reads. Really? Really? We're going back to the ad reads? Man, I cannot. I'm going like September can't come fast enough, folks. You give us a bet. Let's go here.

Ad reads and whoever's up first. They're going to be chomping at the bit because you're like, for those of you who are just turning into the live, tuning into the live stream now, Sean and I were speculating on what a bet might be as to who has the better ad read in September. Yeah, and we're going to put out polls so that we can find out.

We're also going to have whoever... Some sort of metrics, or we're going to try and quantify it in as many different ways as possible. It's possible. So that Sean might be able to find an out of... Who's coming up in September? Tricia Rue and her family have a family farm. They're just doing it to support.

So that'll be a fun. And there are only two episodes. They only get two ad reads. One each. One each. You got one shot. One opportunity. This is everything you ever wanted.

In an apparent snub, the Chinese government has left Canada off a list of countries approved as international travel destination for tour groups. Why couldn't they have done this in 2019? In a media statement, the Chinese foreign ministry announced on August 10th that an additional 7-8. countries have been added till a list of destinations approved for a group tourism package travel okay in response to an inquiry from CBC News the Chinese rationale for excluding Canada the public affairs office at Chinese embassy in Ottawa wrote that lately the Canadian side has a repeatedly hyped up the so-called Chinese interference and rampant discriminatory

anti-Asian acts and words are rising significantly in Canada the Chinese government attaches great importance to protecting the safety and legitimate rights of overseas Chinese citizens and wishes they can travel in safe and friendly environments the NBC added. And just if you're curious, okay, and you're like, well, what does that do to the Canadian tourism world? Statistics from the World Tourism Organization suggested Chinese travelers spent 255 billion in 2019 accounting for 20% of all international tourism spending, and roughly 6% of mainland Chinese tourists spending abroad went through group tours. So, I'm not saying they get all that, but you can imagine if they do group tours, they come to Canada.

Even the U.S., the United States of America, which continues to have a strained diplomatic relationship with China, is included on last week's list to come to. So they can come to the states. They can't come to Canada. Isn't it funny, like the whole wording about having Chinese citizens abroad wanting a safe place to go? and these are the same people who have what 7, 8, 9 Chinese police stations set up in Canada

for intimidating their extraterrational citizens. Their own citizens. Yeah. So, I mean, the irony is wonderful, but I just love how we keep trying so hard to be friends with these people who are just a bunch of dicks.

And honestly, when are we going to send them a fucking bill for a trillion dollars? I'd say the onus is on them to prove it wasn't. A lot of Lee. Transgender men not allowed to compete in events where they have a physical advantage. You're so sexist. Why would you even write that? The world's top chess federation has ruled that transgendered women cannot compete in its official events for women until its official officials make an assessment of gender change.

Fide said it and its members federation increasingly have received recognition requests from players who identify as transgender and the participation of transgender women would depend on an analysis of individual cases that could take up to two years quoted in the event that a gender was changed from male or female the player has no right to participate in official fight events for women until further Fide's decisions is made that's interesting i'm just looking this up uh that that everyone knows that the best male players are rated higher than their female counterparts as of today the top female players judith pulgar 53 in the world ranking with the rating of 2686 which is fucking huge but over a hundred points lower than magnus carlson at 2814 okay so that's that's interesting um there isn't even a woman in the top 50 chess players in the world uh but yeah this was i thought this was

funny because I made this joke at that comedy night that QDM and I did with you last November. I made, because I, you know, just, I wanted to keep it nice, simple and clean. So I started off with a whole bunch of stuff about transgender. And, you know, because I didn't want to get canceled. Which might have got the only boo of the night, which was funny. But yeah, actually, yeah, I think I did get booed for this joke. Was I, I said that I think it's totally fucked up that, that, that transgusting. transgenders are competing in events where they have physical advantages like weightlifting

and I probably and chess and I think I probably threw in something like parallel parking. Well, it's funny. Like, I mean, get the chess community credit to. They're literally saying, no, you can't do this. When the world where, where like, it's like evident that women or men who switch over should not compete against women. They're like, oh yeah, just bring them in. Not a big deal at all. Yeah, it's great. You identify as a woman. Yeah, give her. And then the chess community is like, no. Like, no. I'm like, well, there's, there's over 50 people in the chess community who would become

world champions if they just switched over to the women's side. I understand. Like, that's, that's, that's not even close. Like, that's, that's, but I mean, that's, that's, that's where it is. I just, I found it hilarious that this was a throwaway joke from a year ago. And now, it's an actual thing. It's fair. I'm just saying give the chess community some, some like that, that's pretty cool.

I thought that when I read that, give them hats off to them because they're standing up and I'm sure the community is going ape shit over a transgendered. Well, and they're going to be mad and say it's sexist. Anyways. Some people are going to say,

oh, it's sexist that they think the women can't compete against the men where the ELO's score, there's no fucking around with it, right? Yeah. Like, you're where you're at and that's it. It's very... Me and twos will be the first to say all the women on that list that he just talked about would destroy us at chess.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. You're just not destroying the top 50 best men in chess. That's all. That's all it is. And it's pretty simplistic because that's what the scores say. It's always the last ones you would expect. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

So this guy killed his girlfriend, was it? A Las Vegas man is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend, then hiding her body in his home for two days. Police documents say he shot her 12 times. Just imagine you're getting this tattoo done. And you're like, okay, but I want to look professional. So give me glasses. I was.

Are they prescription? What if he gets LASIC? I mean It's just They're like When you think about the full face death tattoos A pair of horn rim glasses Is the last thing I would expect

I find this just so fascinatingly bizarre I was I was wondering While the guy's tattooing Maybe I should just report this guy right now Because this guy is going to do something stupid There's just no way Like I mean You got devil horns

You got devil horn And spectacles And spectacles Keep it classy A guy had been born 300 years ago? Would he just have a monocle tattooed on one side? That would be great. I mean, we're making humor out of a guy who murdered his girlfriend and then hit it in his house for...

I'm sure she was really surprised when it happened. Yeah. I mean, I guess she liked the way he looked in glasses, too. I don't know. Manitoba elections. Would you hit a guy with glasses, even if he was trying to kill you? Manitoba elections, crooks versus criminals. Manitoba's opposition leader says that governing progressive conservatives are trying to deflect their inability to tackle high crimes rates in the province by making his past run-ins with the law campaign issues.

Because it's not about crime, it's about me, and it's at least partially about the fact that I'm somebody who sometimes wears my hair in a braid, he said. Kinov, Vodal 41 has previously openly admitted to a conviction for impaired driving and for assaulting a cab. driver and his early 20s offenses which he has received pardons he spoke about how in his youth he had major problems with alcoholism and did some things that I'm not proud of going on to say his encounters with the justice system forced him to face his own issues I want to be perfectly clear here being held accountable by the justice system was a necessary step it forced me to confront the fact that I needed to change my life to apologize and to tackle my addictions so If people ask Wab, why are you delivering a tough on-crime message?

What I would say in response to that is it's because tough love has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Responding to Kinoo's speech, PC, MLA, and Justice Minister Kelvin Gertsen said he had respect for Kino and his ability to overcome his addiction, but said every candidate's past is fair game with the upcoming election. The election is a big, great man, the election is a great big job interview. people ask about what you've done in the past. If you're not willing to go through the interview, then maybe you're not up for the job. They both bring up some interesting points. Yeah, it's absolutely fair.

Like, if you are a known criminal, that should come out during the election. But let's face it, they're all a bunch of fucking crooks. So it just seems like Manitoba gets the shit end of the stick. And, you know, the rest of Canada gets the ones that have never really been caught and they get all the the Bush League ones who weren't able to cover their tracks. I like the guy's thoughts on it, you know. He's for playing the race card?

No, no, no. Well, I mean, he literally says, you know, it's because tough love has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I like that. I don't like the fact where he just says, where he is aware of the fact that because he's native. because you're basically just low-key saying that natives are criminals, right? You're the one being racist in that instance, not you, him. Yeah, I know. I get what you're saying.

I just like that he owned up to it and whatever else. It's like, but I get what the other guy's saying, I don't know. This Manitoba election thing, folks, I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I almost want to call in Sundance Construction every time we do an article on it and be like, can you just tell us a little bit about this? like what's going on there you know PCs NDPs you got a wild party kind of like

I don't know I don't know you know in Alberta you got the wild Rose the Independence Party you got you got a couple others you know yeah you've got a couple of Marxists we definitely have to have her on for the for the live stream for that

anyway yeah that's that's Manitoba they're shaping up for an election this was supposed to be the good news This was supposed to be the good news. We're going to play it right here, though. We're going to give you a little bit of audio here, okay? This is Piliyev. Your question seems to be based on the false premise.

It sounds like it's just a CBC smear grab. That's quoted here, Pooleyev. Here we go. Here's what it is, folks. Hello, Mr. Pelliev. A number of your own comments and actions have been characterized as dog whistling to the far right. By who? By who?

By who? By who. By who? By who. By who? By who. been characterized by that way but are you trying to court are you trying to I just need to clarify sorry I just need to clarify by who by a number of different

experts and a number of the experts who work who are the experts okay well I'm I think it's been established that this is this is a concern are you trying to court the far right go sorry I who are these experts you say that there are experts who are saying this where are they my question is are you trying to court sorry I'm sorry your question seems to be based on a false premise You can't even tell me who these experts are. It sounds like it's just a CBC smear job. Thank you.

But what about the question about whether the... The answer is that I have a common sense agenda to ax the carbon tax, bring home powerful paychecks, clear the way to build affordable homes, to put people in housing that they can afford. That is a common sense mainstream Canadian agenda. And I know that Justin Trudeau's supporters are so desperate to distract from that, because his political career is falling apart. So we're seeing an attempt here to distract and protect Justin Trudeau

from his extremely unpopular carbon taxes and other failing policies. But we won't let him or others distract from that reality. So thank you. So you're not going to answer that question. Next question. Oh, like it was almost massively played. He kind of overstepped a little bit because he didn't really understand the crowd. I don't think.

He's in Prince Edward Island, and he probably scared away a few of the locals when he said that he was going to get them paychecks. What? Yeah, like, as in jobs. Oh, okay. Here's... And then she just doubled down on this.

Like, she doesn't even realize how stupid she was. I tried to ask... This is Teresa Wright on Twitter. She said, I tried to ask Pierre Pollyov whether he is trying to court the far... Court the far right vote. He would not answer the question saying, question sounded like a CBC smear job and a distraction from the real issues. Anyways.

Here's the thing is for a lot of these people, the idea of a paycheck in all seriousness is a far right idea. Oh, you're going to work like for the government? No, an actual job. Holy shit. You must be an extremist. This is, I was going to show, we might as show this too. Everybody's seen the video of him with the kid. right? And this is one of the things from Twitter.

Watch as Pierre teaches a young boy aggression and encourages him to be angry and violent. This type of messaging creates men who become disaffective right-wing extremists, which happens to be Pierre's base. For people who accuse everyone else of pedophilia, P.P. sure loves touching kids as he, as he. Yeah, because that's, that's anywhere close to pedophilia, right? Oh, my God. Yeah, he's touching kids.

He's sparring with them. But this is that grasping at straws, which are now made out of paper, so they're even going to be, they're getting flimsier and flimsier. Every day, thanks to the liberals. Liberals lie. News Alert, liberals lie. Yeah, I think we didn't know that by now.

Canada of his environment watchdog says, Ottawa is using a creative accounting to support the claim that it's programmed to plant two billion trees exceeding targets. Commissioner of Environmental and Sustainable Development, Jerry DeMarco, told CBC News that Natural Resource Canada is using trees planted under a different program and a different department to boost its numbers. As we all recall, it was supposed to be two billion trees by 2030, if memory serves me correct.

And anyways, they're using creative accounting. It's certainly not within their prerogative to do that. Or it's certainly within their prerogative to do that, DeMarco told CBC, but to achieve the benefit for climate, biodiversity, and human health. Adding trees is needed, not simply finding trees and other programs that have already been planted saying, oh, this now counts. We've got a higher number than anyone expected. Anyways.

Yeah. So here's another one. This wasn't part of it, but Emergeet Sohi, just a little bit. So this is more of the creative accounting, is that there's $47.8 million in Edmonton coming from the federal government being matched by $47.8 million. in the municipal government. Edmonton being ran by Mayor Amarjit Sohey, the former liberal minister and former former bus driver.

So, yeah, they're putting $50 million of municipal funds towards this $2 billion target that the federal government has just so that they can look good. What do you think he got in return for that? I don't know. I'm like, so just do the math with me. on this for just one sec. They're going to take, pull that,

pull that back up if you wouldn't mind twos, just so I can, um, that is 90, uh, 94 million dollars, right? Actually, it's over that. It's, it's 95 million dollars, right? 95.6.

95.6 million dollars to plant one one and a half million trees. Think, think about that. That's, uh, $64 a tree Like I just I'm Like I just kind of like

I'm a little bit flabbergasted That anyone Would vote for that Like I Plenty trees great To be fair To be fair they didn't just vote for that They also voted for multiple carbon taxes

And vacations and trips to Egypt For climate summits I was moved to ask if you for up. I'm just, I'm still thinking about that. 90. Because Sean, here's the thing is it doesn't matter whether it's effective or not. It doesn't matter if it solves any issues. It doesn't matter that we already are the most forested fucking country in the world. If Russia might have more, but probably not. It doesn't matter anything other than the appearance of doing good. Like, have you ever seen that meme of Trudeau watering that tree that they planted in the rain?

No. Okay, it wasn't Trudeau. Sorry. But yeah, here's the thing is there's just that without government, who would water trees in the rain? I can't believe. They don't care about whether things are effective. They don't care whether it makes a difference or not. They care about the appearance.

of making a difference. It's why affordable housing is an actual thing, even though it makes things more expensive. It's why rent control is a thing, even though it drives up the cost of rent. It's why you have a carbon tax that does sweet fuck all to reduce emissions in Canada alone, let alone the world,

but it's crippling us so that they can say that they're making a difference when they absolutely are fucking not. That brings us to hosing shit show, okay? Two years after Valerie Plants administration said a new housing bylaw would lead to the construction of 600 new social housing units per year, per year. The city hasn't seen a single one. Fuck. You know, like the politician is like the weatherman.

You know, it's like, yeah, it's going to rain today. Oops, we got it wrong. Anyways, carrying on. Tomorrow it's going to rain again. The bylaw for diverse metropolis forces developers to include social family and in some places, affordable housing units to any new project larger than 4,800 square feet. If they don't, they must pay a fine or

hand over land, buildings, or individual units for the city to turn into affordable social housing. So what do they do? Well, here's the thing, is this is the Conflict of Interest Act all over again, right? Because you break the Conflict of Interest Act, you get fined $200.

When George Chahal got found guilty for stealing opposition flyers out of mailboxes in the election, he got fined $500 or $5,000. It doesn't matter because he's got a job

where it makes $187,000 a year for four fucking years. It's peanuts. He's happy to pay it. It's just an election expense, right? You can probably write the fucking thing off. And now these guys, they make a rule.

And they say, well, you know what? If you guys don't build enough affordable housing, we're going to have to find you. And they look at it and say, this is a fucking money pit. We're not the least bit interesting.

in it. How much is the fine? Okay. Yeah. Here's your fucking money. And then they just build it into the cost. Have you seen the movie? I think it's air. I'm talking about Michael Jordan. No, no. Air. I think it's air. Jordan. Okay. Either way, no. I've never seen any movies. Air. Air. Yeah. Okay. Okay. But the point is, in the movie, Nike's trying to convince Jordan to come sign a deal with them in their shoe, right? Okay.

On his way, and he's young. It's before he makes the NBA. And at that time, there's a fine if you put color on your shoe. And so Nike goes, and I forget what the fine is. I can't remember if it's $5,000 a game or what. But nobody does it. And so Nike is the first one to put the red swoosh and, like, you know, splash it. And they go, well, why don't we just pay the fine?

Like, if we sell all these shoes, why don't we just pay the fine? That's a great idea. And right now, you know, these housing developers are like, well, I'm just going to pay the fine. So it's amounted to $24.5 million. That's what housing developers in Montreal have paid the government in Montreal plus land and a bunch of other things. And it's not enough to develop

a single social housing project according to the housing experts. See, that's the thing. The cost of the fine is much less than the cost of adhering the law. That's why I'm bringing it. At this point, I'm like, this is, this is,

these are stupid people making bad laws and they're the reason why capitalism has failed. it's never been tried. That was about capitalism. Happy news this week, okay? Okay, what's it going to be? I have no idea. I'm going to read it out.

It's a little bit, I got to read it out, but you're going to enjoy the story. I was singing this song before I came in. I think everybody's figured it out by now, but did anybody know Christopher Anthony Lunsford for the win? Does anybody know Christopher Anthony Lunsford? No. Okay, let me read you a story to, okay?

Because I think this is really cool. It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000 plus messages and emails I've received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety, and depression. Hopelessness, and the list goes on. I'm sitting in such a weird place in my life right now. I never wanted to be a full-time musician, much less sit at the top of the iTunes charts. Draven from Radio WV and I filmed these tunes on my land with the hope that it made to hit 300,000.

I still don't quite believe what has went on since we uploaded that. It's just strange to me. People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off $8 million offers. I don't want six tour buses, 15 tractor trailers, and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows. I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music, I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression.

These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot in his guitar, the style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place. So that being said, I've never taken the time to tell you who I actually am. Here's a formal introduction. My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and Oliver Anthony music is a dedication not only to him,

but 1930s, Appalachia, where he was born and raised. Dirt floors seven kids hard times at this point I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such But my friends and family still call me Chris you can decide either is fine and then he goes on I can keep reading if you want but he continues I feel for people if they if they want they can go find him Talk about his story and I mean like the guy He's he's talking about what he did and like why he got to this point and that and like it's it's It's just like the guy's turning down being rich and famous. And me and twos are having this discussion before.

And it's like he's going to be more rich and famous. He doesn't want it. But that's exactly why he's going to be like, he's going to have everything thrown at him because he, you know, is fighting the system. And he says, fuck the system. And I don't want your eight million dollars. I don't want your tour bus. And I don't want your jet and I don't want everything.

Just leave me alone. And for that he will be loved and applauded and everybody will search out all of Anthony. I have a picture of him actually. He even made a joke in one of his YouTube videos that he's not sure he has a soul. Right. I'm like, this guy is freaking awesome. I played him, you know, while we're trapped, well, I'm stuck in Cologne. I'm just outside of the, the, evacuation zone. And I'm sitting there with a group and I'm like, oh, have you heard of Oliver Anthony? And because they were listening to, you know, my buddy there was like, oh, we'll play some good Saskatchewan music started playing Colter Wall you know and everybody's like oh yeah I'm like

have you heard of Oliver Anthony none of them had and Oliver Anthony by the third song he's playing I can see people they're building the puzzle of all things which was a funny night they're building the puzzle and like the feet start tap and I'm like yeah like he says in this he goes I'm not that good of an artist I'm like bullshit like there's a reason you know I if Sean picks up a tune and starts singing nobody you know it's because he the way he sings it and what he says and everything else it's freaking awesome that's my good news too's it is great news and honestly i we need more of this right like yeah it's all well and good to have the overproduced jason al dine stuff he didn't write and don't get me wrong i like jason al d but

the stuff that comes you know stuff that people pour their heart into you ever noticed how like musicians kind of lose their edge after they get rich and famous and they just start sucking but like their old stuff that's real edge you know you know what's real edge you ever notice how like musicians kind of lose their edge after they get rich and famous and they just start sucking but like their old stuff that's real edgy like the early stuff when it's really from the heart that's the stuff that hits really good yeah but how can you talk about struggle and everything when you like this guy's talking about i wrote you know he wrote a song um i've got to get sober because he was literally depressed and drinking the pain away and like when you're in it you're in it and it's real i talk about this with jordan peterson a lot when he was first came to emminton like five years ago

six years ago, five years ago, 2018, he was unflippin' real. It was unreal to watch him talk on stage. And there was no polish to it. He was in some old worn-out suit, in some hotel with no grand stage and a little mic, and it wasn't a great sound system. It was unreal. Now you go see Jordan Peterson and Rogers Place.

It is like, holy man, this is a show. But it's so polished, kind of, right? It doesn't have the personal connection. This guy, like, is, you know, he's going, as he's sitting there on a YouTube video going, you know guys, you keep telling me I need to get a Spotify channel, so I'm trying to upload things as fast as I quickly can, you know? And I'm chuckling on it because I'm like, that's pretty cool.

He goes, but I'm not here to race and everything else. So I got on Spotify, and he'd uploaded five songs at the time. The first one, Richmond north of Richmond, at that time, had 100,000 plays. And that was like, geez, we just talked about it last week, and I just, so what is it? maybe 10 days ago, it's at 15 million, almost 16, 15.8 million plays now. I'm like, it's just crazy. He didn't have Spotify two weeks ago. It's like, it's a wild story. It's a

great story. Happy for him. And I hope he keeps true to his word and keeps sticking it to the man because I love it. You know, the Bud Light thing plays on every week with us. And I think it's just, I think it's just awesome. This is another form of awesome. And I just hope it plays out and continues to play out for him. Well, should we go to some local news? Yes. Okay, so we got Slim with Marwain. They got Gord Banford, Dwayne, Steele, September 8th, and Marwain.

I don't know what mean twos are doing with this, but, you know, obviously we're very supportive or very thankful, supportive, thankful, but they've offered us a table of eight people to go to it for just talking about it, which I'm like, okay. And I told Toos, I'm like, well, we got to give, I got to talk to Caleb Taves as well because he's bought a spot on Wednesdays to shine a spotlight on community things as well. So I'm like, that's super cool. It's his table too, basically. Yeah, basically, I'm like, I don't know. We got to try and see if we can get there. So Slim and Marwain, I appreciate, I appreciate it.

I think Tews does as well. Thank you very much, Slim. I guess I got to see. Demolition Derby, August 26, Crossfield. We've been talking off and on about that. And then Derek Nuremberg's son's team. We talked about it last week. His son was playing for Team Canada, the Little League World Series.

Only the second time, if memory serves me correct, Saskatchewan has been the representative in, what did I say? 74 years? 76 years. One of the two. And they got ousted by Mexico, but hats off to the boys for representing team Canada. If you want to beat them next time, you just got to call border control first.

Get them all running, so they'll be tired out before the game. And then I got to give a shout out to Candace and her family at utterly, well, the two girls, Mila, and I got to, like, what am I doing here? I got one of their names. It's terrible of me. I apologize, Candice and the group. But anyways, I stopped by the farm when I was out near Armstrong, wrong had one of their ice cream cookie sandwiches.

Like, I tell you what, if you're out in that area, you got to look them up because it was fantastic. I was like, I gave a bunch of them to Gary, the guy who brought me out there for his family and his daughters, because I'm like, if I have like eight of these sitting beside me, like, I'm going to be found. I'm going to be like in a coma. Yeah, but why not? I mean, when's the next time you're going to get a chance to eat one? You should have just gone for it.

I don't know. but the next time I'm near Armstrong, I tell you what, I'm going to make sure I get one of those suckers. It was that delightful. It was top notch. One thing I almost forgot to add, and then just when we were talking about my throwaway joke from last year, I remembered, oh yeah, I've got a stand-up comedy night, Lloyd coming up in November,

and it's a ways out, me and QDM, and I don't know, somebody's going to do an intro for us. I can't remember who. It won't be that kid. it'd probably be like anyway we're doing the Vic Juba and despite the fact that it has a shit ton of seats they are almost all gone

so get some of the last few I think he's trying to say like maybe you should purchase some tickets yeah I think it's November 5th don't quote me on it but anyways there's going to be a funny a lot of funny jokes there and also QDM um yes and i'm going to throw in a couple things here we're going to go back jami ingram said mama fight like uh zuck and e long is that thing ain't even happening like are they doing that

i don't know i i i like the fact that they're chirping about it back and forth but i'm not expecting it and then sandy hoggren says music changes culture all the time think about ccr and fortunate son during the vietnam war yeah the great song by the way um I tell you what, 69. We're going to be at number 70 next week. We got awards coming up soon. We have, we got to talk about the Donair. Donair and starting September 1, we need to have a challenge issue between us two for the ad readoff.

And I tell you what, let's roll folks. And we'll see what comes of that. Either way, twos. John's going to try and read them like. mine so that he can do better. 69 in the books, I would never sink so low as to be that awful. You know, like I just, hey,

69 in the books, twos. We'll catch you next week to all the folks. Thanks for tuning in. And, uh, well, 7-0 coming up. And we got lots and lots in the hopper. Until then. All right. Thanks a lot, guys.
